At speeds above 5 mph and making a right hand turn I hear a strange grinding from the rear of the car, only while turning right ?? any help would be great

I bought the car used, I work at a dealership but not a subaru dealership. We put the car on a lift today and checked it out everything looked good, someone thought maby the last place did not put any limited slip additive in the rear dif so we added some and the noise almost went away instantly !! I dont think I can hear it now

I am having the same problem as well. How would I go about adding the oil at my house? lol I don't have access to a lift atm.

nm, got all that figured out, added some oil. Wasn't really low or anything at that time. Will drive it here in a few and see if that fixed it.
Just read the manual and it says

5. Noises when cornering
(1) Damaged differential gear. Replace.
(2) Excessive wear or damage of thrust washer.Replace.
(3) Broken pinion mate shaft. Replace.
(4) Seized or damaged side bearing. Replace.
hopefully this will fix my problem.

Adding oil is a temp fix, face it your diff. is done with.
Price out a new one and get it replaced
